Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A quote from the decision:
Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples.
more:
Plaintiffs do not seek recognition of a new right. To characterize plaintiffs’ objective as "the right to same-sex marriage" would suggest that plaintiffs seek something different from what opposite-sex couples across the state enjoy —— namely, marriage. Rather, plaintiffs ask California to recognize their relationships for what they are: marriages.

What is even happening?
I don't know why I thought I could be the one breaking that news here.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Eyes rolling forever after this quote from the CNN article from the Concerned Women for America: "So-called 'same-sex' marriage is counterfeit marriage. Marriage is, and has always been, between a man and a woman. We know that it's in the best interest of children to be raised with a mother and a father. To use children as guinea pigs in radical San Francisco-style social experimentation is deplorable."
So many keywords to elicit a negative response from rightwingers there!

That quote just gets better and better until the ridiculous last sentence.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Marriage is, and has always been, between a man and a woman
Well, that's just false. Quite often it was between a man's family and a woman's family.
Love the "Think of the children!" bit at the end too. Do these people not realize that was a joke on The Simpsons?

I'm also pretty sure in that bible thingie they're always going on about it was between a man and several women.
